Man held for attack on girlfriend, police

STOCKTON - A man was arrested Thursday after trying to run his girlfriend off the road and later assaulting a police officer, authorizes said.

A 27-year-old woman told police she was driving on March Lane about 4 p.m. when her boyfriend, driving another vehicle, tried to run her off the road. The woman called 911 and continued to drive home while her boyfriend, 24-year-old Lawrence Gonzalez, followed, authorities said.

Officers detained Gonzalez when they arrived at the home, in the first block of East Yorkshire Drive.

As officers were trying to determine what happened, they learned Gonzalez was wanted on an outstanding warrant, police said. When officers tried to place him under arrest, Gonzalez pushed a female officer to the ground and attempted to run away, authorities said. Officers used a stun gun to subdue Gonzalez, who continued to fight in an effort to flee before being taken into custody, police said.

Officers said Gonzalez had threatened to shoot his girlfriend, and police found a handgun in his vehicle, authorities said. He was arrested on suspicion of battery on a peace officer, assault with a deadly weapon with force likely to produce great bodily injury, unlawful possession of a firearm and other crimes, authorities said.
